I wouldnt get it if you care about low light performance. All consumer cameras do shit in low light conditions aside from those made by Sony...and maybe some Canons.

all the canon consumer cams iv used are utter crap in low light

I think sonys the way to go man, I should know, I film in all weathers in hemel and its mostly shit

yeah the only reason I say maybe some Canons is cause ive never used any of them. I assumed they were crap in low light, but wasnt sure.

I have a very similiar camera to that, PV-GS19, I think the one up there also has zoom microphone, which follows your zoom when filming, the sound is really good, I haven't had the "Crappy Home Movie" sounding audio yet :).

If you need low light capabilities, then you should probably get a differnet one . I have tried myne in low light, it works well, but its a bit laggy. Your might be slightly better, that looks to me like the next version up.
